PROMENU Modern Protocol Manager, by Michael G Phelps
Version Updates
---------------
Updates info may include the keywords (minor)/(major)
Generaly minor updates reflect a change with the display,
or I rewrote a section of code, not changeing functionality
but possibly improving porforamnce with respect to
size and memory requirements.
Major updates may include a corrected oversight, new CFG
file info, added functions.
v. 06/01/90 <=> Checks size of Bimodem.CFG. Versions 1.0 and later
should have a cfg file of 655 bytes. Just a catch
to help save online time. Will notify user of incomplete
CFG if less than 655 bytes. This does not mean you have
entered info correctly, just acknowledges that some
CFG action has taken place, enough fo BiConfig to write
the file beyond 0 bytes.
v. 08/01/90 <=> Added to P)ut function ability to present the Default
send directory filenames in alphabetical order. Also
put PgDn-PgUp keys in affect for directories containing
more than one scren full. The reason I'm not includeing
File byte-size, date, and such is to get more filenames
on a screen. May change my mind in future, depending on
feedback. The file info is already there, just a matter
of printing it.
v.09/01/90 <=> In version Jan 8 90 I had added the Alphabetized P)ut
display, and reduced the screen size. I forgot to decrement
a files-displayed counter, which caused cursor movement
limited to all but the last few filenames displayed.
Corrected this in the Jan 9 issue...
v.18/01/90 <=> Dropped BiMenu's search for all needed files, it added
time in comeing up, and we don't need that.
Changed the Bimodem.CFG-Check, to just check size in bytes.
If under 555 bytes, something is wrong, as the older versions
are always 555 bytes, and newer versions always 655 bytes.
( saw some increased BIMODEM120.ZIP downloads since adding
the CFG-Check option), sorry for the confusion, just trying
to help.
Name change from BiMenu to ProMenu. Added suport for
DSZ,PUMA,LYNX,CMODEM,JMODEM.
In need of suggestions/documentation, SEE Page 10...
v.19/01/90 Fixed a glitch in the way BiMenu menu, handles the BIMODEM.CFG
file after configuring.
v.20/01/90 M)anual option was not corretly excepting full path names
overriding ProMenu.CFG "DownLoad directory. Fixed this to
except Full path names, of files elswhere.
v.21/01/90 Still finding loose ends after adding protocols to what used
to be BiMenu. The D)el option from all Menu's works now,
was only working from BiMenu.
Added README.1ST file, and updated DOC.
Explanation of ProMenu's usage of protocols, and why a PATH
statement is needed pointing to protocols directory.
Began work on scripting functions. User Input would be
very helpfull in this area! See README.1ST
v.22/01/90 Glitch fixes.
v.27/01/90 Changed the way Protocols are called, from actually building
a batch file, and calling it, to calling protocols as a sub
process.(step towards CFG protocol calling options)
Added Transfer Protocol PATH to CFG file.
Added LISTFILE nameing to CFG file. Enables use of more
than on LISTFILE be preloaded.(step towards scripting)
Added [u/d] arguments to main.
More than usual testing/code fixxes, before release.?.
v.02/02/90 Rewrote the P)ut Pick directory sort routine.
v.13/02/90 Rewrote P)ut Pick again. Adding directory changeing
and a little cleaner listing. Redid the way ProMenu
handles your environmental PATH statement. Also tested
the version more than usual.
v.15/02/90 Fixxed a major oversight,
in that BIHOT.EXE would make an improper exit if no
BIMODEM.CFG file is used. oops
v.02/16/90 Obvious version update name-date change. Minor changes to
the way ProMenu restores initial video settings upon exit.
Specificaly the cursor.
v.02/17/90 Display some of your parms at xfer time, possibly help
if not configured proper.
v.02/18/90 I'm always trying to make using ProMenu as easy as possible,
changes are to handling BIMODEM.CFG file if not found.
v.02/19/90 Well, after changing from BiMenu to ProMenu, adding the
protocols, I finaly discovered the BiMenu/P)ut glitch...
Bimenu/P)ut Pick dosn't mess up the PTH file any more.
v.02/27/90 Addition of configurable command lines to protocols.
v.02/28/90 Attached BCH files to CFG path if SET
v.03/02/90 Gave P)ut ability to display other drives. See the "subst"
option in your DOS manual.
v.03/03/90 Qwik fixes to 03/02
v.04/05/90 Rewrite of many functions, bringing program size down, dropped
ad at exit.
While Not into Documentation, this version contains my best
shot, to date.
v.04/06/90 Corected a command line to protocol typo.
"port%P" corrected for dsz as "port %P"
I should have left it go, but new users wouldn't have noticed
the needed change.
